Vic enlightened the audience
with his knowledge of keeping lizards. Vic has kept several
species of lizards for many years, including an iguana that is over
20 years old!

"Providing a
thermal gradient is extremely important to the well-being of the
lizards." Vic also stressed that although we can do a very
good job simulating the natural environment of lizards in captivity,
we can never duplicate it exactly. Much of his success has come
from lizards that have been kept outside. Fortunately,
Jacksonville has a climate that is condusive for most tropical
species.
